Rapid and highly variable warming of lake surface waters around the globe
In this first worldwide synthesis of in situ and satellite‐derived lake data, we find that lake
summer surface water temperatures rose rapidly (global mean= 0.34° C decade− 1) …

Assessment of inundation changes of Poyang Lake using MODIS observations between 2000 and 2010
China's largest freshwater lake, Poyang Lake, is well known for its ecological and economic
importance as well as its rapid changes in lake inundation areas. However, due to technical …

Seasonal overturn and stratification changes drive deep-water warming in one of Earth's largest lakes
Most of Earth's fresh surface water is consolidated in just a few of its largest lakes, and
because of their unique response to environmental conditions, lakes have been identified as …
